<p>
      The extensions interact with the file manager by implementing so called
      <span class="emphasis"><em>providers</em></span>. This is a concept adopted from the Nautilus
      Extension Framework.
    </p>
<p>
      Providers are interfaces in the <code class="systemitem">thunarx</code>
      library that describe the functionality provided by a certain extension. For
      example, when the file manager pops up the file context menu, it'll first lookup
      all extensions that implement the interface <span class="interface">ThunarxMenuProvider</span>
      ask those extensions for the list of additional menu items.
